ASSEMBLY
NOTE: Many of the illustrations in this manual show only
portions of the compound miter saw. This is intentional so
that we can clearly show points being made in the illustra-
tions. Never operate the saw without all guards securely
in place and in good operating condition.
SQUARING THE BLADE TO THE FENCE
See Figures 14 - 20.
Unplug the saw.
Pull the saw arm all the way down and engage the lock
pin to hold the saw arm in transport position.
Lift the miter lock lever, then depress and hold the detent
release button to release the miter table.
Rotate the control arm until the scale indicator is posi-
tioned at 0°.
Release the detent release button, enaging the positive
stop notch, then push the miter lock lever down to secure
the miter table.
Loosen bevel lock knob and set saw arm at 0° bevel
(blade set 90° to miter table). Tighten bevel lock knob.
Lay a square flat on the miter table. Place one leg of the
square against the fence. Slide the other leg of the square
against the flat part of saw blade.
NOTE: Make sure that the square contacts the flat part
of the saw blade, not the blade teeth.
The edge of the square and the saw blade should be
parallel as shown in figure 14.
If the front or back edge of the saw blade angles away
from the square as shown in figures 15 and 16, adjust-
ments are needed.
